I see the official timing for Keith Gillespie's dismissal last weekend has been given as twelve seconds after he came on?
Is this a premiership record?
I seem to remember Vinnie had a couple of quick red cards.

Vinnie had a yellow in about 6 seconds in one match

Kevin Pressman was sent off once very quickly

Vinnie's record is 3 seconds of play..

The Guardian states Gillespies sending off as 15 seconds, Pressmans is the British Football record of 13
